Plans for fundraising for the con-
struction of the new ballpark in
Brussels were discussed during the
March 22 meeting of the Park
Recreational Development Com-
mittee (PRDC).
Two dollar tickets will be sold
permitting residents to purchase a
square yard of the diamond.
Names will be listed on a corre-
sponding chart depicting the area
purchased.
If the sale of the tickets goes
well, the committee hopes it will
cover the costs of seeding.
A silent auction may be used in
the second year as a fundraiser.
A co-ed slo-pitch tournament
was confirmed for the weekend of
June 23-25.
During a meeting of the Lions
and Optimists, the question arose as
to whether a second ballpark was
needed.
Some of the issues which sug-
gest the need for the ballpark
include: the number of teams now
using the park, requiring some to
use parks out of town for their
home games; time scheduling often
requires three games to be played
on one night, leading to unfinished
games due to time constraints; and
the hope that tournaments would
grow larger with more participation
possible, leading to a ripple effect
for the economy of the village.
The BMG Recreation board
granted $1,500 to the PRDC, which
will go towards the installation of
drainage. The committee has
offered their services to assist with
the installation of the drain to cut
costs.
A quote for drainage was
received from KMM Drainage, in
the amount of $3,500.
Once the drainage work is com-
pleted, the field will need to sit for
approximately two months before
seeding.
Anyone wishing to attend the
next meeting of the PRDC is wel-
come to join them on April 19,
8:30 p.m., at the Brussels Legion.
